process of water cleanliness

Water from hill - tank-tank with stones - tank with sand - tank with acticarbon

Water from the flow into a tank. The water then flow into a tank with stones. The
stones can remove large solid materials from the water which includes leaves, rubbish,
sticks, mud and rocks using a wire mesh.

Tank with stones is the first part of water treatment Process. This step helps to
physically remove large foreign material which includes leaves, rubbish, sticks, mud
and rocks using a wire mesh. This is to ensure that the next few processes can be done
without obstructions from big foreign debris which might cause blockages in the
treatment works later.
Due to the large distance between stone seams in the stone settling ponds, it is only
possible to remove large solid materials such as branches and stones, while substances
like sand and small particles can not be removed.Therefore, we still need to go to the
next step-Fine sand settling tank, in this session, the water flow from the top into the
fine sedimentation tank, due to the decline of the gradient, the role of gravity can
speed up the filtration rate.

At the same time using the water flow from the top into the bottom out of the
way, in addition to increase the filtration speed, but also can facilitate the settling tank
cleaning, and pipe cleaning.

When the water flows into the fine sand sedimentation tank, due to small seams
between the sand, some small substances in the water will be adsorbed by the sand, so
as to achieve the role of filtration. The size of the sand in the sand sedimentation tank
is gradually changing. The upper part of the sand particles are larger and the bottom
part of the sand is smaller. The reason for this is to increase the filtration speed. If the
the sand suture quickly blocked, so that the slow filter.

The pipe connected to the bottom of the sand basin needs to be wrapped with
cloth in order to prevent the sand from clogging the pipe
Adsorption of activated carbon is a porous nature of the use of activated carbon,
water or a variety of harmful substances are adsorbed on the solid surface and the
method of removal. Adsorption of activated carbon for the removal of organic matter
in water, colloid, microorganism, residual chlorine, odor has good effect. At the same
time as the activated carbon with a reducing action, therefore has a good effect on
removing the oxidizing agent in water.

After the fine sand filter tank water there will be some small particles, such as
smaller sediment and other substances, still need further processing, to remove those
small impurities, activated carbon because of cheaper prices, and has good adsorption,
Often do not use as an adsorbent, so in the next part, we choose activated carbon to
treat water.

.
Water through these steps, the basic can achieve the role of purification, but still
can not reach the level of direct drinking, because of some water microbes, bacteria,
so the final step also need to eliminate these small organisms

After these steps, the water can basically purify, but still can not reach the level
of direct drinking because of some microorganisms in the water, bacteria, etc., but it
can meet the needs of some daily residents. Taking into account the capital and
cultural level of residents, inconvenient to use some advanced equipment, or some
disinfectant to disinfect, disinfectants generally use chlorine or chlorine dioxide, but
in the process of using chlorine is harmful to human body, not suitable for villagers
use.
The filter tank needs regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as the stones,
sand and activated carbon in the tank. It also needs to be replaced on a regular basis in
order to maintain its ability to filter. Cleansing techniques and methods are relatively
simple, villagers can complete their own, so as to achieve a sustainable requirement
